Box purchase and cellophane

[AdamJoshua]

Cello breaths, it protects the cigars, I don't understand why people assume the cigar companies would put cello on cigars if it wasn't 'good' for them or they couldn't stay in it basically forever... here these are from the early to mid 80s and are just fine after 30 years in cello...

I think someone who has a box of cello'd cigars should do a test.

Take the cello off half of them and smoke side by side every 6 months for 30 years, then do a post when you're done.


By the way, I'm running dangerously low on Juan Lopez cc's and could use some.

* Fixed er' for ya

No. No. No. They have it all wrong.
Cello is extremely important to the storage of all cigars but it must be treated correctly. Carefully remove each and every pesky cello sleeve placed on the cigar at the factory. Be careful to line them up in order. The cello should then be rinsed in a formula of one part vinegar of oalla berry, one part Fiji water, one part Pellegrino. After rinsing both inside and out the cello must be air dried at no more than 65 to 70 degrees. Do not over heat the cello as it will darken or crack. Once the cello is completely dry place it. Once dried the cello must be replace on the cigar but in reverse order; top to bottom, bottom to top. This allows the cello to stretch and breath freely. Carefully place the cigars back into the box in the reverse order that they came out, turning each cigar a quarter turn. Repeat this process every three months for best results.

Do a search on cello versus no cello and look at what other people said. Not as good as this advice but hey, they might know something

I literally laughed out loud both cause this is funny and because there has to be a guy somewhere doing something like this.

If you take it off now, 3 years from now you will be missing out on yellow celo which is my favorite kind of celo :blob:

I would recommend SmartWater over Fiji IMHO.
Also, I don't have Pellegrino, is Perrier ok? :applause::tiphat::eyepoke:

Rather than reusing the cello, what about Saran Wrap? It's plastic & clear... Same difference, right?

 

[herfdog]

Saran Wrap is meant to seal whatever you put into it. Cellophane is there to protect the cigar - it breathes. Saran doesn't breath very much. Think of it, if you leave a Cigar in its cello for 2 days outside in the open, it'll dry.

However, while Cello breath, it does protect from smell. In essence it prevent different sorts of cigars from exchanging flavors or odors. Buy a cheap flavored cigar in cello and smell it before-after opening it, you'll see what I mean.

Now, I used to still take them off cellos, but after reading a bit I started leaving them as is. Its meant to protect them after all.

Then I got into thinking, wouldn't cello also serve as an additional beetle protection?

I was only kidding, following the sarcasm of the thread I apologize, my newby status & the internets inability to convey sarcasm combined for a bad combo lol

 

[Ducttapegonewild]

I prefer to duct tape all of my smokes, individually... It really protects them and provides an awesome flavor when I do light them up!

 

[LikeAPuma]

I heard duct tape combined with a cardboard shoe box actually performs better than a coolidor....?

Have you seen my tupperdore?

Smart Water is full of those ions. Well according to wikipedia: An ion is an atom or molecule in which the total number of electrons is not equal to the total number of protons,. Now if having an unbalanced humidity is bad can you imagine how bad it would be to have unbalance atoms running all over your cello?

Perrier is french and the french are known for radicals free and otherwise. Free radicals which could harm or blemish your cello tubes. The oala berry vinegar counteracts the free radicals carefully caging them in non-porous areas of the cello resulting in crisp shiny cello. No. Stay with this process and your cello will keep just like new!!!

Lol!!

Some funny stuff in this thread !

I leave the cello on for a different reason. I figure that the cigars will respond more slowly to any changes in RH during storage if they are in cello. if the RH is consistent then it doesn't matter, but if it fluctuates some then the cello may slow down the effect on the cigars. They don't like fluctuating RH.
